But why would evolution give us fairness? How does that help us in any way?

Evolution gave us sentience, not fairness. Because the fact is, not everyone thinks fairly. Some people are self-serving, self-interested cunts. We achieved sentience as a complex scheming tool to help us propagate the species more efficiently than any other organism. It's not that evolution is a god who is giving us the ability to perceive this rule-set that it created. We rationally constructed the notion of fairness by ourselves.

I have a particular strong dislike for things that have... clashing flavors. Like, when I wasn't a vegan, I wouldn't even eat burgers--they had to be plain. So, basically, a chicken sandwich. I was the guy who was like, "I'll have a plain cheeseburger; hold the cheese." I wouldn't even eat pizza. Now I can't eat pizza/burgers. So it all worked out in the end.

My brother would absolutely find you the most miserable person on the planet of you two were to discuss food.

He wouldn't be far off the mark. :/

That's not really what I mean, though. I'm gonna ignore your conflation of homosexuality with pedophilia--I don't think you meant to do that. But what I'm saying is just that... sex is, whether you like it or not, sort of a taboo subject. It's not something you talk about over the dinner table with your family. It's only ever "okay" to talk about if every party is consenting to have the discussion--and once everyone has established that they're okay with talking about sex (either explicitly or implicitly), then, you know, whatever, have at it. That goes for all discussions of any or all sexuality.

You know me--I persecute people for bringing sex into shit all the time. Doesn't matter what kind of sex it is. The reason I censure pedophilia more (should be pretty obvious, but whatever) is because of the implications of the fetish itself. "Oh, you're a pedophile? So you like to fantasize about having sex with children who are developmentally unable to give consent in any lucid, rational manner and may not even know what sex is or what it's for, thereby ruining their childhood and possibly their entire life?"

Yeah, I might just say something unkind to that person. I'm just conditioned that way, I guess.

Definitely wasn't my favorite soft beverage, but... hmm.

>Dr pepper

Oh wow. I've never met someone who didn't like Dr. Pepper, if they drank soda at all.

And no, just to clarify, pedophiles who haven't actually abused children shouldn't be prosecuted. Duh.
You can't help what you're sexually attracted to.

I got nothing against persecuting them, though, if they ever display their sick fetish to the public.
That you can help.

i hang out with them, so it rubs off

If that happens, I'm going to need how to pronounce your name.

obligatory "anime is fucking stupid" post

i played that game a lot. you dont think it's good? for an older pc game i think it's quite well done.

well no, i like it, it manages to be both nostalgic and edutaining all the same

the conversation had just deviated into who played better edutainment games

that is so fffffFUCKing gross

that's cute



have you been to the amazon
no i didn't think so
sit the fuck down

I managed to only play great games when I was little

I don't disagree with the principle of "lying is bad," obviously, and I respect your decision not to buy games that developers lie about--if only in this instance I didn't find it so petty. If it was anything else--"See that mountain? You can climb it"--I might be able to sympathize a little bit--but I think the concern over fps is just... I don't know, I really think you're just depriving yourself of what might be a good game over... the pettiest thing, and I just don't get it. It's good to have principles, but to me, that's a little extreme.
